Comment
See Duellman, 1970, Monogr. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas: 368–370. Formerly in the Hyla picta group; this group was transferred into the Hyla godmani group by Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 905–907, and who provided an account. Smith, Chiszar, and Lemos-Espinal, 2005, Herpetol. Rev., 36: 75, provided records for Chihuahua and Sonora (although the records in this paper for extreme southeastern Sonora are clearly legitimate, the records from Navojoa, Sonora, [collected by Shannon] are very likely in error, the specimens having come from some other locality—DRF). Lemos-Espinal, 2007, Anf. Rept. Chihuahua Mexico: 44–45, provided an account (as Hyla smithii) for Chihuahua, Mexico. See Varela-Soto, Abarca, Brenes-Mora, Aspinall, Leenders, and Shepack, 2022, Zootaxa, 5178: 520, for dot map.
